 Griffish is largest of the Carp-bagging pools
at borwickfishing and promises to the most popular match fishery. Originally
stocked with 6500 6”-8” Ghost Carp by British Waterways in April 2004, it was
later abandoned to the ravages of Cormorants and it seems likely that very
few fish survived that winter. After British Waterways had left the scene,
Environment Agency contradictory policies delayed restocking until April 2006
when the water was stocked with a further 6000 6”-8” Mirror Carp. The fish
were slow to show but suddenly turned on in July and by the end of August
anglers were catching well over 100 hard fighting half pound fish, like
little puddings, in a hectic session, fish which reached 2lb+ by 2007 and were
giving match weights of 129lb. The pool has the deepest water with depths
over 20 feet and was separated from the main lake in later 2003 when many of
the bigger fish in the main lake were shoaled up in the area. Both Carp and
Pike over 25lb have been caught and bailiff, Jimmy White, has seen fish
he assesses as even bigger.
Four acres in area, Griffish has 60 pegs and plenty of parking
at the waters edge at the North end of the pool.
